kalina

15:00

there is no tried and true method

Retrosaur

@Fluttershy LessPop is here to blame

kalina

some people write punchy comedy and that attracts people

Retrosaur

Wait, I lied

@RavenDreamer did that

kalina

titles with puns, minecraft questions, etc

Fluttershy

@Retrosaur LessPop didn't do anything other than what Raven did. If it's anyone's fault, it was yours for not asking more clearly.

Retrosaur

15:01

@Fluttershy I noticed that, apologies @LessPop_MoreFizz

kalina

let's not have another day of drama

Ullallulloo

@Fluttershy He changed all instances of "great" into "hot". "Hot" pretty clearly refers almost exclusively to the super collider, whereas great just means a good question.

kalina

ultimately, to write the best questions possible, give it an intelligent and catchy title to attract people in, make sure the question contains all of the information you feel is pertinent and provide images with freehand circles where required

keep it all on topic and fill it with puns

guaranteed repcap

just don't exact one line questions about a game that only you play to do so well

Fluttershy

> You know, the questions that appear occasionally on the super drop-down collider

kalina

ultimately though, it's about getting answers, not reputation

Retrosaur

15:03

@Fluttershy on the super drop-down collider, or questions that seem to garner a considerable amount of votes.

Fluttershy

@Ullallulloo The question was already pretty clearly pointing at that.

@Retrosaur That wasn't in your original question.

kalina

@Retrosaur your answer is up there ^

all them things I said

Ullallulloo

@Fluttershy When I first read it, I understood what he meant pretty easily.

Martin Sojka

@Retrosaur I typically ask the questions as wordy as I need to to make them precise, while avoiding game-specific jargon (though not gaming-specific jargon) or at least explaining it when I use it so that the intent and scope of the question is understandable even for those people who don't know the game. On the second pass, I add in illustrations (for example, portraits of the character if the question is about the character or something typical for that character), general

Fluttershy

Basically, what it comes down to is this: You asked a duplicate question, it got closed, you changed the intent of the question, and then asked why it got closed.

Martin Sojka

15:06

... optimisation for search engines and internalisation, and formatting (for example, adding headings or splitting off "introduction" from "main body" by horizontal lines).

Fluttershy

That's how I read it at least. It could just be my crappy mood today.

kalina

@Fluttershy you are in a crappy mood today.

...also, Fluttershy for mod

Retrosaur

@MartinSojka Thanks for the advice! You could put that as an answer, once it gets reopened!

Ullallulloo

@Fluttershy Doesn't that pretty clearly mean that it's not exclusively referring to those though?

StrixVaria

I don't want to be mod because then I would have to un-ignore and deal with certain people.

kalina

15:07

@Retrosaur you thank him but not me?

fine! I won't waste any more words on you!

HMPF

Retrosaur

@kalina Oh, I thought you hated me ;_;

Sorreh

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria And you can't cast normal close votes.

Retrosaur

Apologies on this part.

kalina

@Retrosaur I do, I still helped

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot I would have mod close votes, though.

Retrosaur

15:08

Regardless, thank you @kalina. Your brave, valiant efforts are only matched by the efforts of @Ullallulloo and friends!

Wait, I made that a tad too dramatic

OrigamiRobot

@StrixVaria Which you wouldn't be allowed to use most of the time.

Fluttershy

@Ullallulloo It does now. Because of that single extra line of added intent.

kalina

@StrixVaria I don't want to be a mod because then I wouldn't be able to vtc or vtd without fully committing to my choice

StrixVaria

@OrigamiRobot "allowed"

murgatroid99

@Retrosaur I honestly think your question is basically just asking how to get people to be interested in your writing, and is kind of pointless to ask here

Sconibulus

15:09

@kalina that always struck me as a not-good thing

Mods should have a regular vote button, and a super vote button

kalina

@Sconibulus what, me having power to nuke stuff? Yeah... not a good thing

Ullallulloo

@Fluttershy That was in the original question though...

Sconibulus

@kalina As long as I've launched my colony ship, you can have all the nukes you want :)

kalina

I might go for mod on movies & tv if it ever gets out of beta though

badp

@Retrosaur there you have it.

Retrosaur

15:10

Thanks everyone!

Mad Scientist

@Sconibulus As a mod I only close when I'm sure, I don't see the lack of a non-mod close as a bad thing

badp

@MadScientist would you see its presence as a bad thing too?

Sconibulus

@MadScientist There haven't been cases where you would vote as a user, but don't because you're a mod and you're not convinced the question is that bad?

In my mind, it takes a much worse question to unilaterally close than it would to close vote

Mad Scientist

@badp I think it would cause more problems and more arguments if this was added

badp

@MadScientist In a way they already exist

Mad Scientist

15:13

@Sconibulus I don't intervene in borderline cases as a a mod, unless the whole thing derails

kalina

@Sconibulus I agree

Martin Sojka

@Retrosaur I could, but then it would miss the point of your question. It's not a way to write a question to appear on the "Great Questions" list. It's just a way I try to use to write my own questions so that they are accessible and useful.

M'vy

@Sconibulus the mod is here to take immediate actions when necessary

badp

the choice between "close" and "super-close" is the same choice as the one between "wait" and "super-close"

M'vy

The community can deal with the rest

Retrosaur

15:14

@MartinSojka Ah, okay. So short and concise, making it useful for everyone, not try to be a repwhore and gain upvotes. I'll take that advice :3

Ullallulloo

@M'vy They're suggesting to let the mods be a part of the community though, and not act like a mod all of the time.

Sconibulus

@M'vy Right, I get that. But why does a mod lose his ability to be a member of the community?

badp

@MadScientist okay, but what if I find a comment that I find personally over the line but I don't feel strongly about it enough to one-click nuke it?

or a post, or a chat line, or anything

Why don't I get to put it for others to peer review?

M'vy

@badp don't mods have mod-chat or something?

Martin Sojka

@badp Because you get paid?

badp

15:15

...yes, so? Why exclude the other 10kers from the discussion?

@MartinSojka HAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA no.

FAE

@MartinSojka ...wha?

Martin Sojka

@badp I thought so.

Mad Scientist

One positive aspect of the lack of a non-mod vote is that it emphasizes that mod decisions are always binding and that mods should be sure about their decision before acting.

@badp Comments are expendable, "personally over the line" is enough justification to nuke an entire conversation

Arda Xi

@badp What about former 10kers?

Martin Sojka

In any case, I think mods should get to use special "mod accounts" or have a "mod account mode" separate from the main account. Just like we tend to use special "mod voice" (typically red bold lettering) on forums to make sure others don't confuse our private opinions with our mod activity.

kalina

15:19

@ArdaXi YOU DON'T COUNT

badp

@ArdaXi Are former 10kers 10kers?

kalina

your account has no power

Arda Xi

@kalina oh ok

I feel better now.

kalina

good

Fluttershy

@Ullallulloo The line about the super whatever was. Yes. The line after it was not. The added line was what caused the change of intent when I read it.

OrigamiRobot

Hell if I know.

Arda Xi

Whatever happened to that dating sim?

kalina

@ArdaXi same thing that happened to your account

badp

@ArdaXi It's been revived after the main character returned on the set

Arda Xi

@kalina It disappeared because nobody cared about it?

badp

15:21

Quite the prima donna, that main character.

Arda Xi

@badp Who? :o

kalina

@ArdaXi those were the words I was thinking but not the ones I was going to say

Arda Xi

@kalina You implied them.

kalina

@ArdaXi I must be thinking too loudly

Arda Xi

@kalina Isn't that also implied?

fbueckert

15:28

Do we do tech support through a third party?

ie. this question

kalina

I don't see a reason why not

fbueckert

@kalina Doing so is almost impossible; information gets lost in the translation.

And technically, it's not him that's having the problem.

kalina

just because the answer is hard doesn't make it off topic though does it

@fbueckert "we have a problem with our server" seems to indicate he's suffering from the problem to me

OrigamiRobot

Technically the whole site is about helping people through a third party.

2

fbueckert

@kalina He doesn't have access to the actual server information. Doesn't sound like it's his server at all.

kalina

15:35

@fbueckert he knows the person who does though, the only difference is that person doesn't have an account

I will let everybody else deal with it, was just voicing my opinion

fbueckert

I don't mind trying. I just think it's going to be a waste of time.

kalina

it may well be, but that doesn't make it off topic

fbueckert

Especially if we can't get all the information needed to actually diagnose the issue.

kalina

otherwise I can go and close all minecraft questions as "mmmh too difficult to answer"

fbueckert

It's not about difficulty. It's about not being able to provide the information needed to fix it.

kalina

15:38

with that in mind, yes, I agree with you, let's set a precedent for closing questions that are difficult for one individual to answer!

fredley

@kalina always be closing

Wipqozn

@fbueckert: He probably rents a server, and it's a virtual machine. So he probably can't access the hardware information or doesn't know how to.

> We used to have a script running that would automatically load the proper map size, based on the number of players currently on-line. We thought it was the culprit, but disabling it didn’t help

fbueckert

@Wipqozn That information is sort of critical in order to answer it, though. Without that, there's not much we can do.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert That would be a reason for closing it as either "Not a Real Question" or "Not Constructive", but not off-topic (if that's what you are arguing for).

fbueckert

@Wipqozn I wasn't arguing for any particular closure. Just pointing out a problematic question.

Wipqozn

15:51

Because if that information is required to solve his problem, and he can't provide it, then I would agree that his question isn't answerable.

FEichinger

@Wipqozn No, no. With the new closing changes, obviously everything should be closed as off-topic.

Martin Sojka

@fbueckert It can be all kinds of routing/configuration issues. Hard to say without seeing the actual config and some proper debugging.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert: Based on what's he's comment he can get all that information, just might take a while.

fbueckert

@MartinSojka It could be that. I dunno.

Wipqozn

Also, this is a good example of why I dislike tech questions.

Debugging is a back and forth, aka a discussion.

It's not something fit for a Q&A site.

Sconibulus

15:53

well... the eventual answer might be a decent fit

maybe we should point him to chat for the debugging process

fbueckert

So long as it's something he can get his hands on, I have no problems trying.

Wipqozn

@Sconibulus Chat is a good spot for it, yes, but the fact we're redirecting somewhere other than the main site so we can solve the problem shows it's not a good fit for the main site.

FEichinger

We have the comment section for clarification.

Wipqozn

It's not intended for back and forth discussions of a huge nature.

Which is what debugging is,.

"Try this. Did it work?"

"No."
"okay, try this instead."

FEichinger

How do you think Server Fault and Super User even exist, then?

Wipqozn

15:57

@FEichinger We're not server fault and super user, and there are more questions asked there than just how you fix a server.

Sconibulus

@Wipqozn I think that "Take it to Chat, summarize the diagnosis and resolution to the best of your ability" is an explicitly ok stackexchange answer type

Or at least, I think it was at one point

I may be out of date

FEichinger

@Wipqozn What I'm saying is that they are perfectly doable. Ask for clarification, have it edited into the question, until the question contains all necessary data to answer it.

fbueckert

@FEichinger It still requires lots of back and forth.

FEichinger

@fbueckert Doesn't mean it doesn't fit into the SE model.

Quite frankly, the fact that we have the abillity to assemble all the information without cluttering the solutions is a benefit of the SE model in that regard.

fbueckert

@FEichinger Doesn't mean we can't dislike it, either. It works, yes. But it doesn't work well.

Wipqozn

16:01

@fbueckert Yeah, exactly.

fbueckert

Tech support is an inherently discussion-y topic.

FEichinger

@fbueckert I'm not convinced that it doesn't work well. Just because it can't be answered immediately doesn't necessarily mean it's bad.

Wipqozn

Don't get me wrong, I think technical support questions are very useful, and once we reach the end product and have all the information summarized it is a great place to store the information. That doesn't change the fact that the path to getting there isn't a good fit for the SE model.

fbueckert

Almost always, it's never as simple as, "You fubared X. Go here, change it to this setting, and that'll fix it."

FEichinger

It works way better than, say, a forum. And, as opposed to a chat, the result is persistent and ordered.

In all honesty, it works very well in the SE model, compared to a lot of other solutions. Without a dedicated system, that's really the best you'll get. And for that, it does a tremendously good job.

The solutions are all nicely sorted, separated from the problem. The problem can be assembled without flooding the solution section. And comments can be removed once they have been incorporated in the problem description.

fbueckert

16:05

@FEichinger I disagree.

We're shoehorning the troubleshooting into comments.

And the end result can be an answer, and, really, it doesn't need the troubleshooting in it.

FEichinger

No. You're asking for clarification - which is exactly what the comment section is for.

fbueckert

All you need is the end result.

@FEichinger That's a stretch of that definition.

Troubleshooting usually involves asking for MORE information, not more details on already provided information.

FEichinger

We'll have to agree to disagree again, then.

And it really boils down to semantics again.

fbueckert

That's what we were doing from the beginning!

Wipqozn

Well, I still don't think they are a great fit, but I'm not going to start a crusade to have the banned. Like I said, I think they are useful, and SE is great for storing the end result. Just have problems with the road getting there.

fbueckert

16:09

Anyways, I have a steak dinner tonight, so I'm really looking forward to that.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert I was never a fan of steak.

Now if @OrigamiRobot hates steak, too, I have no one to play Monster Hunter with.

Wipqozn

I've always been more of a fish person.

I like all of the meats.

fbueckert

@Wipqozn I love fish, too. Especially sushi.

But a good, marbled steak beats damn near everything.

StrixVaria

Grilled chicken done right is the king of meats.

fbueckert

Done medium-rare, so it's still nice and juicy when you cut into it....mmmmmmm.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert Sushi is fantastic.

@StrixVaria I concur.

Tim Stone

I think we can all agree that the real problem here is that you're all talking about food, but I don't see any of it magically appearing in front of me.

Now I'll have to make the difficult decision of what to have for lunch. shakes fist

StrixVaria

I want sushi for lunch now.

Sushi is one of those foods where you don't feel like you're getting full, then all of a sudden you're overstuffed and don't want to move until tomorrow.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria Same. I love Sushi.

fbueckert

16:15

@Wipqozn Best meals.

Tim Stone

@Wipqozn Well played. I now hate you, but well played.

Shotgun Ninja

Damnit, now I'm hungry.

Wipqozn

@TimStone The best part is since I hate steak that doesn't make me hungry at all.

fbueckert

I will have chicken fingers for lunch. In less than an hour.

And then steak for dinner.

Sconibulus

how is it possible to hate steak?

fbueckert

16:17

So today will be a very good day.

Wipqozn

@Sconibulus I have good taste in food.

Sconibulus

Oh... so you're snooty and need it to be Roast Beef?

Wipqozn

@Sconibulus I only eat roast beef if I have gravy.

It's too dry otherwise.

Sconibulus

...only if you overcook it

Wipqozn

No, even undercooked it's till too dry for my liking.

fbueckert

16:18

@Wipqozn This preference begs the opposite.

But roast beef with mustard or gravy is heaven.

Wipqozn

Okay, let's take a vote.

The vote shall decide whether Steak is delicious or disgusting. Only @StrixVaria and I allowed to vote.

My vote is that it's disgusting.

@Wipqozn I was asking for more information.

Wipqozn

Yup. Steak is basically the worst food ever.

fbueckert

And I suppose I should get around to finishing Half Life 2.

Wipqozn

@fbueckert The statement is fairly self-explanatory.

StrixVaria

16:30

I can see that it's tenderer than most other steaks.

Wipqozn

Also I should finish half life 1.

Sterno

I used to dislike steak too. It was only good thinly sliced, with lots of sauce, on a sandwich

Wipqozn

and then play through half life 2.

badp

Sterno

16:31

If your steak is < $15/lb, it will probably suck.

StrixVaria

When I try to actually eat steak as a meal, I'm generally only able to swallow about half of it, and the other half I have to spit out.

fbueckert

@badp Oh, so not actually confirmed.

Wipqozn

@StrixVaria You're right. We should call it the @BenBrocka galaxy.

StrixVaria

I don't like the taste of steak, though, either.

@Sterno See, if you classify being Canadian as wrong, I don't want to be right.

Fluttershy

FF13 and 13-2 were awful.

FF14-levels of awful.

fbueckert

@Fluttershy Which, apparently, isn't that awful anymore.

Fluttershy

@fbueckert That has yet to be determined. It's still in beta. And it could technically be considered FF14-2. <_<

fbueckert

I have long come to the realization that I am strange and weird. Others not liking what I do is usually par for the course.

Fluttershy

It's their second shot at trying to make a good MMO. Third, if you count XI, which wasn't awful, but wasn't great.

I'm looking forward to running through 7 again. It's been a very long time since I last played it.

StrixVaria

@fbueckert Need a FFVIII HD remake.

FFX is fine already.

fbueckert

@StrixVaria They've said that if this remake sells well, the next one will probably be 12.

StrixVaria

@fbueckert FF12 sucked.

Why would they do that?

OrigamiRobot

Forget FF, Legend of Dragoon needs a remake.

fbueckert

@StrixVaria I dunno. That's just what they said.

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria Squeenix is dumb.

fbueckert

@OrigamiRobot Along with some more Breath of Fire games.

StrixVaria

The dumbest decision made by a game studio to date is not making a Pokemon MMO.

@Fluttershy "Oh, and no more Final Fantasy whatever. Instead, we'll call it something else."

Q: Where's the best place to farm the Behind Closed Doors challenge?

In Splinter Cell Conviction, you can earn some P.E.C. points by killing 50 enemies whom you've marked while using a mirror or a snake camera from behind a closed door. It is massively annoying to use the snake cam on every door in hopes of finding one or two enemies behind it. How can I get this ...

Q: How do I register my Skylanders?

I need to find the webcodes associated with my son's skylanders. I connected the portal of power while on skylanders.com and activision.com but the skylander didn't appear like I had read about. Apparently I need very specific instructions.

@ShotgunNinja You just need Final Fantasy-B1 to start over the franchise with

Final Fantasy A.

This is so precious

Watching all these people raise their shieds to defend B

I wish somebody could find the people saying "Is it a crime if the [underage prostitute] victim [of underage prostitution] doesn't consider herself a victim?" and throw them into an asylum.

Sterno

I want a tactical fedora.

Thought I was about to eat an orange. Turns out it was a grapefruit. Yuck.

StrixVaria

@Sterno Grapefruit is delicious.

Sterno

@StrixVaria Apparently you're wrong about all food.

StrixVaria

Oranges are gross.

Sterno

It tastes like Satan's ass.

You must be eating the wrong grapefruits.

OrigamiRobot

I love grapefruit.

Sterno

@StrixVaria That might be!

OrigamiRobot

Oranges too.

Sterno

Clearly I can't be trusted to choose grapefruit appropriately if I can't even tell it from an orange.

StrixVaria

I like most things made from oranges.

I just don't like actually eating oranges.
